LIST OF COLLEGE WAR CRIES.
The Peculiar Whoops and shouts Adopted
by Different students.

The Peculiar WhOops and shouts Adopted
by Different students.
One of the college papers has compiled
list and history of college cheers Accord
ing to it the original shouts of the colleges
were a repetition of the name of the college.
This gave advantage to the colleges
which had sonorous names, and as the con-
slant aim of cheering is to make more noise
than the other cheerers, new yells were
evolved by a process of evolution These
came into existence quarter of u century
ago, when Yale and Harvard had their boat
races on Lake Quinsigamond, when the
'Rahi 'Rah! 'Rah! thrice repeated was
first heard. Harvard sounded the Rails
full, and added Harvard" pronounced SO
that the and clipped We're all that
were heard Yale was added to the New
Haven colleges 'Rahs with a long howl on
the a.
PrinCeton's cheer was developed soon
after, as Princeton came into athletic rela-
tions with the other colleges. They took the
three 'Rahs for basis and added the sky
rocket siz boom ah, which they hold on To as
long the nine 'RahS of their opponents
hold out, and then yell ''Princeton" u
calliope climax. Dartmouth has one of the
most novel cheers of all. Some Indian must
have invented it, and stout college lungs
give it the right atiiatus. Ii is Wah-hOO-
w
mouth! Wah-hoo-wah. 1t Is very pictur
esque, and only sophomore can Wah-hOo
to the best advantage. The hoo is like u
human owls boot.
Everybody has heard Columbia Hooray!
Hooray Hooray. Column b-i-a! The
name spells out rythmically. Johns Hop
kins university at Baltimore has taken the
ground plan of the cheer and built on it, al
ding Johns Hopkins, instead of Co
l-u-m-b-i-a, Stevens institute at HOboken
and Union college ut Schenectady have SINH
lar cheers.
Rutgers has a cheer almost as original as
Dartmouths. 1t is 'Rah 'Rah! 'Rahl
Bow -wow- WOW! Rutgers! Williams has
enhancing and resonant 'Rah. 'Rah,
'Rah! WilliamI yanls. yams. yams, Penn
sylvania University has a wild Philadelphia
cheer without any special charm. IL Is the
three 'Rahs and Penn-syl- van-i-an! Tho
College of the City of New York cheer bet
ter. They say Rah three times and add
CT c. NJ W
Cornell has n cheer that, once heard, can
not be forgotten. 1t is like the rhyme of
the passenjaire. 1t is given with proper
. emphasis only in times of excitement. Here
it is: Cornell, Cornell! Cor-cor nell! l
yell like - Cornell!-New York Sun.

EFFECTS ON THE STAGE.
Floating Ice-A Raft Scene-Marine Eff
fects-MoonIight Ripples-Cataracts.

Floating Ice-A Raft Scene-Marine Eff
fects-MoonIight Kipples-Cataracts.
The old and much abused effect of floating
ice shown in ''Uncle Toms Cabin, " where
Eliza crosses the Ohio and avoids her pur-
suers, was originally done with set waters
and old soap boxes that were mounted on
rollers and pulled from side to side by means
of ropes. Then the effect was bettered by
covering these boxes with sea-cloth which
is a piece of canvas painted in imitation of
water. At last platform hung on heavy
bolts with two small rockers was substituted
and is still in use. The raft scene in THE
World was produced by having a man at
each one of the entrances who kept shaking
the sea cloth while the scene was on. This
improved by having a number of boys
kneel under the cloth and give it motion by
raising and lowering their shoulders. Then
the barrel roller came into use. This con-
sists of u long cylindrical frame covered
with irregular shaped pieces of wood painted
to represent sea. Several of these rollers
used at one time are effective. They are
controlled by a man who sets them in motion
by turning a crank. This idea is used i'll the
scene of the old sluice house in ''Alone in
London"
The best marine or water effect is secured
by painting a sea and building a number of
waves eliptical in form and fastening them
LOSeunef Dy HleaH Oh elastic DdnCS- ntSst'
waves when set in motion from either side
of the stage by means of a pulley are very
delusive. The beach effect where the tide is
seen to be i'll mOtion-that is, where the
water comes up To the shore and then re-
ceoies only to return again in another wave
is done by covering the stage first with a
sand cloth. The cloth is painted not only to
look like sand but is sanded as we'll Over
this is spread the sea cloth attached to heavy
sand bags that hang underneath the stage by
means of ropes that run through the floor.
When the cord holding the sea cloth is re-
leased the heavy sand bags draw it away
from the set rocks and bank and as the under
part of the sea cloth is also well sanded the
swash of the water is very nicely initiated
When the cloth has been drawn as far as
necessary the operator has but to pull it
back again and then go over the same per
Torrance until the scene is done. This effect
is expensive.
For moonlight ripples and shadows slashes
cut in the painted waters behind which
are sometimes spangled. The silken sheen
showing through these slashes produces Il
good effect. Waterfalls are produced by
means of am endless roller of canvas or by
directing stream of real water over "a
trestle fl led in with real stones and ferns and
mashed in ON either side by set waters. The
roller idea is seldom seen nowadays. The
difference between these two systems can be
appreciated by those who can remember the
original production of THE Cataract of the
Ganges'' and the spectacle of the BLACK
Crook Philadelphia Item.

FoiIed With a Silver Brick.

M. w. Brown, of New Mexico, said to a
reporter: Mining now is not what it used
to be. In early days there We're incidents
without number. When first went TO Sill
yer City, n. NJ, to open the mine which /
have recently located here, the railroads
had not entered that territory, and the
stage robber fiourished in all his glory. 1t
was not infrequent for them to make good
hauls of bricks or dust, both in that and
other sections of the mining country. l had
some trouble in that line and finally con
cluded that | had the remedy in my own
hands, and put my bullion into a 500 pound
brick and sent it to the Philadelphia mint
The stage attacked, and the robbers got
all they could, but when they came To my
brick they stopped short and remarked;
We'll, IT looks mighty pretty, but its too
much for Us, and went. l notified
from the mint that they would not again re-
ceive such a large brick. | had not antici
pated this, and was rather put back. but |
wrote to the people at the mint, explaining
the situation very clearly, and they replied
that under those circumstances they would
receive 5OO-pound bricks, but no larger. =

Those Russian Caps.

The Russian sleighing cap with long ear

unbecoming The truth is that any woman
who Is VIII enough to take sleigh ride at

ears tightly covered while she is doing il,
and it is not persons compelled to take long

The Charm of Wearing Gems.

One of the charms Of wearing "a gem is u
consciousness of its indestructbility, its per
manency, and, if one may say so, of it's per
sonality-the mystery of natures methods
in its slow crystalliZatiOn i'll dark telluric
depths, of the glance of imprisoned powers
shut up within its walls, remembrance of
the vague old idea of their potency-all this
and more, to many minds, has as much
force as the inherent beauty of the thing
itself. Who knows what spirit, what one of
the genii what enthusiastically commanded
sprte is shut up i'll the fiery depths of the
ruby, with its purple blue corners, of the
pigeon blood tinge, in the heavenly color and
brilliancy of the sapphire, i'll the sea green
water depths of emerald or beryl2
There is always a fascination in its SPARKLE
both when we wear il and another wear
it, when we lift it from its dark hiding
place i'll the casket where we keep it, as it
looks up at us with its lidless, deathleSs glance
of beauty. But bit of glass, however pref
tily colored-what spirit is there in that
made by IA man, according to a formula
what spell can the most vivid imagination
conjure up in its ray-what mystery turks
in IA thing that any clown can put together
Nothing of the poetical or romantic attaches
To the wearing of the colored glass; the arti-
fetal gem-mere love of show and glitter and
ostentation enter into that. -Harper's Bazaar

ciated by the parlor maid who uses, them rs

AS A SUNBEAM DRAWS THE DEW

Mid the petals of the roses
Trembling dewdrops hide apart.
Till the morning soon discloses
Sunbeams mirrored in each heart;
Till each heart is warmed and lightened
And it's sphere of action heightened;
All, the heart of hearts doth WOO
As sunbeam draws the dew.
Thou, my sunbeam, warming, cleaning,
Art the someone of my heart;
With thy heay allurinS beaming
BLESSING of thy joy impart
To thy somewhere heaven take me:
What thou hopest Of me make me;
10, my hand and heart are thine:
In my heart, too, thou art mine.

Cincinnati Expedition.

1t is settled. Cincinnati and the Ohio
Valley will have grand Centennial Ex-
position next year. The 81 5000 Qua
antcc Fund was completed yesterday
and every patriotic citizens can rejoice
To raise such an immense sum was I'm
undertaking that no other city except
this would have successfully accomplish
ed. II was 4 herculean task, but now
that the loyal Circnnatans have SO
literally and heartily responded there is
cause for The warmest mutual congratu-
lations. The celebration will be well
worthy OF the push and energy and in
telligence of the Queen City. lt Will be
an international event, in which exhibits
of every kind from all parts of the
world will he conspicuously displayed.
To the Citizens CJmmittee--whos so gal
lantly took hold of the Guarantee Fund
when it seemed that the 81 900, 600 could
not be secured, and that the giant enter
prise must fail-the thanks of the entire
community are due. II is Il source of
profound qualification to know that Gin
cinnau never proposes any thing that
she docs not carry out, and this latest
splendid example of nerve and patriot
ism on the part of her citizens will give
US air enyiable distiction throughout the

Eugene Zimmerman.

One of the most emnently successful
and energetic of the young business men
of Cincinnati is Eugene Zimmerman.
His part in recent sales of large railway
interests in this section has placed him
very conspicuously before the public.
He is in his goth year. The early part
of his life was spent in his native town,
Vicksburg, Mississippi. His active tenn
permanent took him to the north, where
he completed his education at Gambler
College. AZ the beginning of the hos
tilities between the North and the South,
he embraced the cause of the Union and
entered the navy. He was then mere
boy, but his indOmitabie energy and de-
termined will at once displayed them
selves and his rise was merited as well
as rapid He was engaged in several
fierce cOmbats, among which may be
mentioned the battle Of Arkansas Post
and the fight before Vicksburg. His
skill and bravery were rewarded by his
advancement to the post of Lieutenant
Commander of the United States flagship
"Ouchita," Of the New Orleans squad
ron. As captain of the Arkansas, the
"boy officer" did good service at the
battles of Trinity and Harrodsburg, and
he again distinguished himself at the
capture Of Fort Pembcrton, where his
yalOr helped to win the day.
At the close Of the war Captain Xim-
norman came North, married, and en-
tered upon his business career. His sue
cess has been extraordinary. As a part
ner in the inmChcc oil firm of Alex Nc
Donald & Co., and in the consolidated
Coal and Mining Co., he ranks amor
Cincinnati's merchant princes. He is
identified with several minor industries
in and about Cincinnati. His railroad
enterprises command large share of his
attention. Besides his official and mon
eyed connection with the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton Railroad, of which
he is Vice President, Mr. Zimmerman is
President of the Chesapeake q Nashville
Railroad, President Of the kentucky u
South Atlantic RailrOad-which is now
developing the mining resources of Ken
tuckY--and takes an active part in the
management OF the Newport News 4
Mississippi Valley Railway System with
Mr.. Huntington. The proposed ChcSa-
pcakc IL Ohio Railway bridge, to be built
over the Ohio River Between Covington
and Cincinnati, and linked 70 the Gin
cinnati depots by an elevated railway,
will be Of vast importance 10 the com
mcrcc and trade of Cincinnati, and the
fact that Mr.. Zimmerman is President
Of both of these companies bcspcaks the
speedy execution OF the great ptojcct.--
